    Wip [WIP] - Help with regional fantasy map

    I'm fairly new to this whole mapmaking thing, but I've been lurking around this forum for a couple of years and made a few attempt at making maps to go with my novel writing. Now I'm in the position that I need (want) a map that will help me with this current story I'm writing. I have made a world map and then zoomed it in to the area that I'll be writing my novels about. But, I could really use some help from all of you talented people on here.

    I'm struggling so much with getting the sizing right. I can tell that my large crack/canyon isn't done in proportion to my mountains, but I cannot tell if I need to increase my mountains or make the crack more detailed. Could anyone give me some ideas here? What am I doing wrong? I have a distance reference in the bottom of the map that shows approximately 40 miles (one day by horse). Please ignore all the unfinished stuff on the map and the fact that I just cannot seem to get my colors right.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm definitely not scared of critique. Bring it on! I'd love to hear what you think so I can improve and learn.

    EDIT 2: To clarify, the crack I'm taking about is the large one covering the area called Devilea. The crack is an enormous split in the earth and the depth of it should be deep enough to make the mountains feel small.
